Bluegill is good eating

Back when my hands were steady, I could clean 50 bluegill in an hour (I'm slow) and me, Nancy, and Lindsay would eat those 100 filets in one sitting.

[Dee]

Never fileted any. Scaled'em, guted'em, cut the heads off, rolled in cornmeal, and fried'em.

[oldandslow]

Same here. They don't usually get big enough in this area to drag out the fillet knife. Despite that the state record bluegill was caught right here in a lake that no longer exists. Now it's grass that golfers use. What a waste. I caught a lot of mixed sunfish out of that place and everyone of them was good eating.

[Dee]

Back in 50s and 60s we called'em perch in my neck of the woods.

[Lloyd Smale]

i dont fillet perch uniess there at least 12 inch. My cousin catches all kinds of perch and he fillets them all. Time you batter them and cook those small ones till there brown there overcooked. Same with brook trout. under 12 inch and the get deheaded gutted battered and fried whole. I dont know anyone personaly that fillets bluegill.

I don’t cook them to dark brown.
I have the oil deep enough and hot enough that the filet sinks and then starts rising, when it bobs to the top scoop it up and dump it on paper towels.
I never stack the filets, that way they are crisp and you can eat them like popcorn.

Fried shrimp, cocktail shrimp and deer back strap rolled in bacon grease and cooked how wanted on the grill. Desert was an ice cream cake. Everyone was happy especially me since it as just me the wife and kids, ahhh...

Still do here.

Last night it was home made tacos again, thanks to our daughter. The gathering of the clan for Sunday night supper is pretty regular thing for us and we kind of rotate where it takes place. After we ate the adults got comfortable and watched the five kids rig up a water hose on the playhouse and turn the slide into a waterslide. It was 95 degrees and they had a hollering, screaming, good time.

[Lloyd Smale]

i think i would have made a road trip to eat at your house that night.

Whatever you'd call it
Flour
Spoon of baking powder
Pinch of salt
Small spoon of sugar
Mix drys
Start adding water and stir
Goes in a hot greased skillet on the stove
Cook and turn when browned

It's like a big pancake made with more
baking powder and a thicker batter

Thanks, I call that pan bread and I’ve asked for recipes for it to no avail. I had a friend who used to make it for breakfast and put gravy on it but I think he used milk or condensed milk in it.

[Bob Riebe]

Cultivated Wild Rice with chiles and what ever else I throw in.

[Mule 11]

Hoagie bun with olive’s oil and toasted on the grill with sautéed onions and green peppers. Forgot the mushrooms. Melted Monterey Jack on top of vegs and grilled deer steak sliced against the grain with mayo open faced with vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and peanuts for desert

[wtxbadger]

Oven baked chicken thighs seasoned with salt, garlic and parsley.

[billy_56081]

Steak again!

Pretty much the same thing the cannucks
call bannock
Basic baking powder bread
Cut in butter or shortening with less water
or use milk for biscuits,  or use more sugar
with more liquid for pancakes

Just me- I would have just as soon made
a pone of cornbread, but it's too humid
to fire up the oven for 30-40 minutes
when I can have a stove burner on for
10-15 minutes and be done

About a heaping cup of all purpose
flour makes enough of the dough to
make a "loaf" of skillet bread for 2
people, or enough to slather jelly
on a piece with coffee in the AM
and have enough of a piece to
go with supper stew or glop or
whatever in the evening

[Ranger99]

Wednesday's bread with enough left
over to put strawberry jelly on for
Thursday with coffee

kfc last night. Not my favorite by a long shot but the wife likes it and she was at a doc appointment and picked it up on the way home. Got to say though they have some new fries that are pretty good.

[oldandslow]

Frozen beef taquitas with home made salsa spiked with some Hell on the Red. They are edible with enough salsa but barely.

[Bob Riebe]

Prime Ledensteak und hasch braun Karfoffelen.

One of my pasta’s and pork shoulder on der grill marinated for 2 days in the finest $1.50 a bottle Italian dressing...

[Ranger99]

Cheap zesty eye-tal-yun makes
for a good universal marinade

[Lloyd Smale]

[phalanx]

Just Chink food tonight.  Yuk.

The Oriental Buffets have made me lazy as it has been years since I went to a Oriental Restaurant and just order one dish, but those used to be very, very, very good and huge in portion.

One sad thing is many of the ones that has some mature old school cooks from the home country are going away because the old school cooks are dying off. the young ones have too much Western vibes.
